What evil have you brought upon us?

One of last month’s meeting attendees, bless his heart, and I will hereafter refer to him as HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED, because I haven’t asked his permission… Gave these lovelies out at the meeting.  I finally got around to looking at it, and SAVAGE!  Good thing I got new tweezers.

Meeting recap

First meeting, I’d call it a success despite my arriving a few minutes late. I want to thank everyone who showed up, both those I have met before and those I haven’t.  Hopefully next time will be in a drinking establishment. Stay tuned!

MohawkCon

The ONLY reason I didn’t walk away from DEFCON this year with a mohawk is that Kat resigned her position at MohawkCon. I waited too long, I guess, and then she told us down at the circle bar she had quit, and I was disappointed.

Surplus equipment

By the way, I have a shit-ton of surplus equipment I’m trying to get rid of.  A whole lot of older 1U Dell servers and older Cisco switches.  Free for the taking for anyone local.  Market value not even high enough to be worth shipping,.  But great for anyone putting together a lab.

Also if anyone wants to experiment with GE Simon alarm keypad panels, or strip them of their components, I have HUNDREDS of them.

GoCube Kickstarter

How many of you are in on the GoCube Kickstarter?  GoCube is a Rubik’s Cube on steroids.  Orientation sensors, move transmission via Bluetooth, stickerless with speedcube mechanics.

I’m an old-school cubist. I learned the old way with the old patterns.  I’m a sub-two-minute solver on a good day.  With this invention, I’m willing to learn the new speedcubing methodologies and get my solve time down lower.
